EMX on Win32
I know it’s utterly pointless… But yeah GCC 2.8.1 + EMX 0.9d, hosted (running) on Win32. Â The main reason is that I wanted to be able use use my substantially faster Win64 machines to build stuff for OS/2. Â And since I have a 4 core (+4 hyper thread), I want to be able to use make with the -j 16 flag, and say compile QuakeWorld/2 in under two seconds.
I was able to get the binutils 2.6 derived stuff to compile, along with the ‘ancient’ binutils which is notably the linker that EMX depends on. Â I would imagine this ought to be able to compile PDOS, although my own simple attempt at InfoTaskForce met with spectacular failure. Â While it does compile fine using an older EMX 0.8h based release.
EMX 0.9d on Windows 10 x64
As you can see, it can compile the dhyrstone benchmark, and run the MS-DOS version via the MS-DOS Player.
And SF insists this great project is inactive.
It’s just a toggle setting… I haven’t done anything with it in quite some time. And I suspect nobody is sending in exciting patches or much of anything so I just flagged it inactive.
